Lumberton, N. G.

Mr.. EDIToR-The MESSENGER has
been quite a welcome visitor in our
midst, and each week its pages are
scanned with renewed interest.
The District Conference of Will
mington District, NJ. E. Church, was
in session here last week, Elder James
E. Champlain, presiding. Quite a
number of ministers and lay delegates
were in attendance, much business of
Importance was dispatched, great
interest awakened in the work, and
much good done. Ministers and lay
delegates seemed to enjoy their short
stay in our town, and are even loud
in their praises of the kindness and
hospitality of our people. At the
close of the Conference the Sabbath
School Convention went into session
with Prof. d. p. Allen, president,
Rev. G. W. Blaylock, secretary This
convention was merely organized and
set in proper working order, and bids
fair to become of much interest to the
Sabbath school cause of the district.
A code of bylaws and resolutions
were adopted, after which the conven-
ton adjourned to meet again at night,
at which time some splendid essays
were rendered by Misses j. d. Lee,
NJ. f. Lewis and others. Sunday was
the day for Sabbath school concert,
which was interesting indeed
The people are busy in the cotton
fields just now, but are getting very
little for picking cotton-only 33aa
to 40 cents per hundred.
The cotton crop is far short Of what
farmers expected earlier in the year
hence multitude of sad counten-
ances. Pea and potato crops, how
ever, are better, hence your CORES
pondent is agile, jolly, corpulent, and
strong, and feels like shouting the
harvest home" Come down and let's
90 coon hunting.
Your correspondent visited Maxton
and Piney Grove sections recently
and found the people very busy in the
harvest fields in each section. In the
Piney Grove section are some of the
finest crops, the kindest people, the
prcttiest girls, and the biggest "miss-
keeters" we ever saw. Mr.. Editor,
don't you wish you could see EN-?

20 The local, or purely States railroads,
are not affected by the Interstate Commerce
law except incidentally, and when matters
adjust themselves under the law the smaller
railway corporations will no doubt find that
they have been materially benefited by it by
being exempted from the bad effects of the
spasmodic quarrels and rivalries of the COM
paratively few immense corporations which
made the smaller lines pay for their rate wars
in one way and another. The law was in
tended to regulate, not the smaller and local
companies, who regulated themselves by
legitimate competition, but the great trans
continental lines which by unjust discrim-
ination could bankrupt individuals and
whole communities, and which for years
have been run, not for the benefit of the
stockholders, but the managers who have
acquired vast fortunes, ten fold greater than
their princely salaries warranted, while they
defaulted on interest and paid trifing divi-
dends or none at all. The talk about the law
breaking up the railroads is nonsense. 1t
will no doubt measurably put an end to rail-
road wrecking and give the stockholders a
chance. There are some facts which will ere
long come to the surface, and which will put
a new phase upon the thing.-EG.

ABig Emigration.

There is promise of a largely increased
emigration from Europe this summer. A
dispatch from London states that nearly all
the steamship lines have stopped booking
places for emigrants for the present, their
facilities for transporting them being ex-
hausted. What it is desirable our workmen,
especially our skilled ones, should under
stand regarding this new and great influx, is
that the special feature of it, according to
this London special, is "that numbers of
mechanics are going out, especially brick
layers, plasters and masons from Scotland,
Wales and the northern districts of Eng
land" In addition, skilled and unskilled
representatives of labor from all over the
continent, especially from Germany, Swe-
den and Norway, are pouring into Liverpool
en- route to the States. Finally, says the
dispatch, altogether the emigration trade
of the current season is more brisk than at
any time during the previous seven years,
and the prospects point to long season of
activity" High wages in this country, the
chances of advancement, and the certainty
of a comfortable livelihood are having their
natural effects in drawing European labor
here, and especially skilled labor, but there
is no tariff or prohibition on labor itself
Hence there is great probability the labor
market in this country will be overstocked,
and in that case wages will fall. 1t costs no
more for an emigrant to reach our shores
than to get from Philadelphia to Chicago or
st. Louis; but cheap passage merely is not
the motive that moves great masses of peo
pie. 1t is the certainty of bettering their
condition, steady work, higher wages, and
exemption from the military service, and the
grinding poverty of the continent.

"a The Columbus correspondent of the En-
quirer (Taylor) in the conclusion of recent
letter advances the theory that that portion
of sacred history in which Jonah figured SO
conspicously, has been repeated in the DEM
ocratic riddance of Charley Vallandingham.
We quotes Within the past three days have
seen in over thirty Republican papers, under
glowing and fervid headlines, the statement
that Charles N. Vallandingham the son of
Clement L. Vallandingham, voted an open
Republican ticket at the last election, declar-
ing that the act was significant. Perhaps it
was so. Let us see. On that day the Demo
Gratis doubled their majority in Columbus;
swept Cleveland, GAINESVILLE, Gallipolis, Nc
Arthur, Lancaster, Newark and Ravenna
with cyclone of phenominal majorities, and
did equally well in nearly all quarters of
Ohio. Two days later the Democrats carried
Rhode Island by majority for the first time
in the nations and party's history. Let US
concede that Jonah has jumped overheard,
and say nothing more about it.

The Express Companies.

The railway companies knew for certain
ty that they were embraced in the hit-and-
miss provisions of the interstate commerce
law, but the express companies have been
fiattering themselves that they had escaped.
Some of them went so far as to claim that
express companies are not common carriers.
Now if the farmers of that law intended to
screen express companies let them be held
responsible for the vilest legislative fraud of
the age. The commission evidently believes
it will control express companies, as the fol-
lowing reply to the inquiry of an express
president shows:
"Your letter of the 1st inst, requesting a
decision of the commission upon the ques-
tion whether the interstate commerce law
applied to express companies, has been laid
before the commission and duly considered
If any express company desires to be heard
by the commission on the question you raise,
an early opportunity will be offered for that
purpose, but until such hearing is applied for
the commission will assume that the law
does apply to such companies"
The express monopoly is business that is
not complained of so much, because the
carrying of small packages, which make up
the most of their traffic, and divided among
so many classes of people, permitted small
overcharge-or and exhorbitant charge-in
each case without creating grand chorus of
dissent. But express companies have dis
criminated quite as much as railways, and in
some ways their charges are beyond all
reason. If the law does not reach them it
should be so amended that it will.

~ The Allen County Democratic Central
Committee have adopted the delegate system
for selecting candidates in the future, and as
there seems to be disposition to change the
system in this county for nominating candi-
dates, we would like to hear from Democrats
in different portions of the county as to their
views, whether they think it best to continue
the present system of nominating by popular
vote, or adopt the delegate or mass conven-
ton system. Our columns are open to free
discussion Of the matter. The following is
the resolution adopted by the Allen county
.Democracy in convention assembled:
Resolved, that the delegates hereafter &C.
credited to any convention, district or coun-
,ty in Allen county, Ohio, shall be elected by
ballot, by the Democrats of the several wards
townships and precincts of said county, al
the time of nominating officers for sale

Joint Agricultural Meeting.

At an adjourned meeting, r. p. Boody,
President of the Morenci fair, Messrs. L. G..
Ely, NJ. Z. Lee, Z. Patterson and L. W..
Brown, representatives of the Fulton county
Agricultural Society, Messrs. Josiah Roller
and j. l.. Halter, of Napoleon, in the interest

Fair Co., met at the Court House, Wauseon,
o., on the 18th of April and organized by
choosing L. G.. Ely, chairman and H. l..
Moseley secretary.
After an informal discussion of the ques-
ton of an admittance fee for teams to fair
grounds, by Boody, Roller, Brown and 9TH
ers, Mr.. Roller offered the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously carried:
Resolved: That it is the sense of this meet
ing, that after the season of 1887, ii will be
for the interest of the several societies to
charge an admittance fee for teams.
The following rules and regulations were
adopted concerning passes: Any exhib
itor making display of l or 2horses shall
be entitled to pass; for 8 or more horses 2
passes; for 8 to head of cattle, pass; over
head, 2 passes. For further granting of
passes for cattle needing extra care, made
optional with each agricultural board. Ex-
hibitors of sheep, hogs and poultry shall be
entitled to pass. That any one making a
display of agricultural implements or a mer-
chants display shall be granted one pass.
That any exhibitor in the above list shall
only be entitled to a pass or passes in one
class. With the exception of the dining hall
permit, it was voted that for every $5 paid
for privileges, pass be given; not to exceed

1t was also voted that it is the sense of this

itors' names placed upon their entry cards.
The one judge system was recommended.
The meeting adjourned to meet in Wause-

eY While our Republican friends are pre-
dieting all sorts of disaster to the Democratic
party, as a result the new secret labor
organization, they entirely forget that the
dissatisfied Prohibition element in their own
ranks is almost certain to lose them several
Republican states in the next Preside ntial
election. As matters now look, the NORTH
WEST does not believe it possible to defeat
either in convention or at the polls, the re-
nomination and reelection of Grover Cleve-

popular with the business men of the coun.
try, the colored people and the law abiding

~ See what great change has been
wrought in the Republican mind of this
country in one decade. The National Re
publican of Washington in its issue of Tues
day, says:
An esteemed correspondent takes excep-
ton to what he deems disparaging and un-
just reference in these columns to the late
President Hayes. 1t is not easy to imagine
tlat any well-informed American can
persuade himself that Mr.. Hayes was, or
could possibly become, the conspicuous
figure in American politics which has dis
tinguished competitor easily attained to-
Mr.. Tilden was an accomplished lawyer, a
disciplined thinker, and man of prodigious
range of knowledge. Mr.. Hayes personal
equation belongs among the minima and by
one of those accidents which providence per-
mits only to astound and bewilder us, he be-
came President of the United States.
